Sports tonight: Celtics almost without parallel

The Boston Celtics tonight will try to avoid matching the 60-year-old franchise's longest-ever losing streak when they host the Los Angeles Lakers at the TD Banknorth Garden. The Celtics last night lost their 12th straight contest, and one more will match the 13 straight losses posted by the horrendous 1996-97 squad, which finished 15-67 and still missed out on getting Tim Duncan in the draft. (They did end up landing Rick Pitino to coach.)

The Lakers (27-18) welcome back their star Kobe Bryant, who just served a one-game suspension for clocking Manu Ginobili -- unintentionally it appeared. The game starts at 7:30 on Fox Sports New England. Oh the humanity.

On the high school scene, Rhode Island ice hockey power Mount St. Charles welcomes undefeated Catholic Memorial (get a load of their fight song), ranked number-one in Eastern Massachusetts by The Boston Globe, to Woonsocket's Adelard Arena. The game starts at 4:30. You'll find a story by Carolyn Thornton and a gallery of game photos tomorrow on our High School GameDay page.
